The celebration will take place at 38-23 104 St. from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., according to Queens Library President Dennis Walcott.

More than 300 kids are expected to attend the festivity, which celebrates the Three Wise Men, also known as the Three Kings or Magi, library spokeswoman Elisabeth de Bourbon said. The event is considered the conclusion of the winter holiday season in several countries around the world, especially in Latin communities.

According to 2016 data from censusreporter.org, Crowley and Francisco represent parts of Community District 3 (East Elmhurst, Corona, Jackson Heights), where Latinos comprised i66 percent of the population.

The event will have a story time, live music and presents for the children.
